[SPB245J1] [Discussion] The watch is running fast by +65 seconds despite regulating it few days ago.

I purchased the watch on 14-12-2024 and have been wearing it regularly to the office since then. On 26-12-2024, I noticed that the watch was running ahead by +28 seconds. I adjusted the time using an atomic clock app. However, today, 30-12-2024, I observed that the watch is now running +65 seconds ahead, according to the atomic clock app. Could you please advise what steps I should take to ensure my watch maintains accurate time?

Is it normal for automatic watches to gain or lose time? According to the Seiko website, the watch specifications indicate a precision of +25 to -15 seconds per day.

While researching online, I came across a few potential reasons for a watch running fast, including the following:

  1. Break-in Period: A new watch may require a break-in period of about a month to settle into its rhythm and evenly distribute its lubricants.

Note: I purchased the watch on 14-12-2024, but it was manufactured in October 2022. Could it be possible that the watch has experienced wear and tear since its manufacturing date, or might it now require lubrication? Your guidance would be appreciated.

  1. Magnetism: If a watch suddenly starts running very fast (e.g., +20 seconds or more per day), it may indicate that the hairspring coils have become magnetized, causing them to stick together. Considering that we are surrounded by electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, bluetooth speakers, and earphones, could prolonged exposure to these devices - especially mobile phones - have magnetized my watch?

I would greatly appreciate your advice on these concerns and any recommendations for resolving the issue. Thank you.
